Hi all,

I bought these thinking I would fix them up, I haven't, they need to go to someone who will. The bass drivers aren't in the photos, but I have them at work somewhere. They need refoaming but are included. The other drivers are fine, although from memory I think they need a rewire. Cabinets also need re gluing in places, but generally are fine.

Wazzo Chris can tell you how good they can sound (I've not heard them).

They will need collecting from Worcester

They were £800 when new and would probably go for ~£2k nowadays. Not to be under-rated.
Good luck with the sale Hamish.

Only 5?

Jimmy Hughes was quite a fan of SD Acoustics. He liked these if I remember.

I'd have them, and would love having a go at re-foaming. But Worcester.:(

Sorry Chris, I didn't check back as they are all but sold ... Agreed on a price etc, they just haven't been collected so I forgot to update this thread.

And thanks Chris, and yeah, thanks Chris also :)

Hi Hamish
Ha, and at least two of those Chris people are Chris B's!
By the way - I see you're still using the Elizabethan Method. Love the idea of a 'Point and Shout Camera' as in your signature!
